ESS2-1

Develop a model to illustrate how Earth’s internal and surface processes operate at different spatial and temporal scales to form continental and ocean-floor features. 


Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on how the appearance of land features (such as mountains, valleys, and plateaus) and sea-floor features (such as trenches, ridges, and seamounts) are a result of both constructive forces (such as volcanism, tectonic uplift, and orogeny) and destructive mechanisms (such as weathering, mass wasting, and coastal erosion).

Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include memorization of the details of the formation of specific geographic features of Earth’s surface.

ESS2 1 Causes of Erosion Activity

 

Use the source https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/erosion/ and any other source—but cite this and any other source you use in your answers

 

  1. Discover 6 possible causes of erosion

List them and describe each briefly—and include a cited, titled image of the example—the title should include the location

  1. Decide which of the six causes of erosion listed is most devastating where you live—or within 100 miles of where you live—justify your response

  2. Put the six causes you listed in order of effect—the biggest cause of erosion first, to the least, 6th.(Not all need to occur in your neighborhood.)

  3. Pick of the causes of erosion and determine how it could be significantly reduced.Describe 2 advantages of the reduction process—and 2 ways the reduction process might harm the environment in a different way.
